I think Clay should concentrate on losing some weight. That''s probably a bigger priority for him right now ''cause no one likes a fatty, male or female, and if he really wants to sell some records, he needs to show some skin. I know it''s superficial, but I just call ''em like I see ''em.

I actually like Clay Aiken better now for "coming out" and being himself. I feel sorry for him that in our warped, judgmental society he could not feel comfortable or safe in admitting honestly about who he is.

Sadly, here''''s another one who is assigning himself to spending all of eternity in constant torment. Don''''t think so? Read the Bible.

You know, I did read the bible. And it said "judge not, lest you yourself be judged."

"...Better start answering, God does not like queers, if you believe in the Bible it states it plain and simple...:

The bible also says "Judge not, lest you yourself be judged."

Okay, I''ll bite. Whats a "pediphile"? Is the someone addicted to pedicures?

I think you mean pedophile, ya doorknob. I am totally wasting my breath telling you that gay and child molester arent the same thing, arent I?

The number of gigs for Mr. Aiken must be getting low. Who cares about this?

I''m with most of you here, *** cares? Is he in need of some free publicity? Entertainment Tonight paying him for his "exclusive?" Clay, i''m sure you''re a nice guy...but most of us already knew you were gay. It ain''t nuttin'' to be crowing about. You don''t see straight celebrities calling press conferences to announce they''re straight.

And in other news: people are being murdered, American soldiers are dying, drugs are being smuggled across our southern border. But the important thing is that Clay Aiken admitted he''s gay.

He''s probably made J.Edgar Hoover''s....oops, I mean George W. Bush''s Homeland Security Risks list...maybe Sarah Palin can convince him to attend her church so he can be "saved".

He was already a target!

I bet things will settle down, now that he has admitted it.

Ok, it''s none of our business who someone sleeps with.
Why is the article posted? The article is "minding someone''s business".

I like Aiken no more or no less. I had never heard of her until two weeks ago.
AND another thing, if this is so great why did the radio announcer who spoke to a *** "*** fairy" about child porn get fired? Boy George is a fine example of people we should admire?
He has been arrested twice in public bathrooms.
He should have some money, yet cruises public places like that. Such class!
I don''t personally care who anybody is with, but there''s always going to be jokes and personal opinions about things like this.

I can see no reason for him to do this - hate mongers now have a new target.

"If it''''s nobody''''s business, like he himself used to say, why did he change his mind and inform us that it must be our business for us to know what he does?" Posted by hypnotoad72 at 12:52 PM : Sep 24, 2008

Because people weren''t leaving him alone. He was constantly being asked if he was gay. He probably figures if he comes out with it now, maybe people will finally leave him alone, so he can raise the baby in PEACE.
